NanoSteel Presents at 2007 Materials Science & Technology Conference

Four papers highlight the ability of NanoSteel’s Super Hard Steel® thermal spray alloys to provide exceptional iron based resistance to corrosion

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Monday, September 17, 2007) - The NanoSteel® Company, an industry leading producer of nanostructured steel alloys for industrial applications, announces that four co-authored technical papers will be presented at the 2007 Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) Conference and Exhibition at the COBO Center in Detroit, September 16-20. The papers highlight the ability of NanoSteel’s Super Hard Steel® (SHS) thermal spray alloys to form a metallic glass structure that provides exceptional iron-based resistance to corrosion.

Co-authored papers to be presented by NanoSteel include “Maximizing the Glass Fraction in SAM2X5 HVOF Coatings,” “Production of High Density SAM2X5 HVOF Coatings,” “Calculation of Kinetic Factors Controlling the Stability and Pourbaix Diagrams of HPCRM (High Performance Corrosion Resistant Materials) Alloys” and “Optimizing Alloy Chemistry/Passive Oxide Layer in SAM2X5 HVOF Coatings.”

Including the four papers co-authored by NanoSteel, more than 15 technical papers to be presented during MS&T discuss the structural properties and material characteristics of the SHS thermal spray alloys.
